Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat
Preheat your oven to 385°F (195°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Cream the butter and sugars
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
-
Add wet ingredients
Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined.
-
Add dry ingredients
Gently fold in the flour, protein cereal, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until combined—don’t overmix.
-
Shape the cookies
Roll the dough into golf ball–size portions and place on the baking sheet.
-
Quick chill
Refrigerate the dough balls for about 10 minutes. This helps create that perfect texture.
-
Bake
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and crisp while the centers stay soft.
Note
Tips for the Perfect Cookie
- Don’t overmix the dough once you add the flour—this keeps the cookies tender.
- Slightly underbake for the best chewy texture. They’ll continue to set as they cool.
- Add extra chocolate chips on top before baking for that bakery-style look.
- Use room temperature butter for a smooth, even dough.
Serving Ideas
These cookies are perfect on their own, but even better with:
- A cold glass of milk
- Crumbled over yogurt for a sweet treat
- Warmed up slightly for extra gooey chocolate
